Fatigue life analysis and probabilistic modeling constitute a pivotal area in materials science and engineering, addressing the prediction of material degradation and failure under cyclic loading ...
Mechanical parts are more frequently subjected to cyclic loads than solely static loads. Fatigue issues are commonly observed in turbine blades, aerospace components, locomotive systems, large ...
EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) reports that 7FA gas turbines have a rotor life of about 144,000 hours, or 5,000 starts. The primary life-limiting factor is high cycle fatigue cracks ...
